The last album approved by the late Jimi Hendrix
before his death in 1970, Band of Gypsys, will be heading
back into the studio for a digital face-lift. The album will be
re-released on Jan 13 on a Hendrix family sanctioned CD edition for
the first time. The project will give legendary Hendrix engineer,>Eddie Kramer, his first crack at remastering the tracks from the original two-track mixdown master tapes for compact disc.

The new album will feature the original album artwork plus a new
24-page booklet with liner notes and rare photographs.

"I think Jimi would be really excited about this release,
because "Band of Gypsys" shows a little more of his blues and
R&B side," says Janie Hendrix-Wright, Jimi's
sister and President/CEO of Experience Hendrix. "It reveals another
side of his music, a different facet of his creativity."
